"GIVE ME THAT BIKE!" is a yell used by some Coaster BC members to show approval for a cool bike.

Thats not rust, thats patina. A good paint job takes hours, good patina takes years.

The "Rust Rat". My RRBBO3 bike. The "Star Chief". My first rat bike build, a bike built for my girl Crazy Mae.

Rust and red.... a very nice combination.... Nice bike. That badge is beautiful. Get a small cheap LED flashlight and reconfigure it into that headlight....cool.

OK, I'm going to give you my secret vendor for cool stuff. Check out NightProwler, you may have seen them at some of the bigger custom car shows. Check out their web site thenightprowler. com. They sell jewels in 7 colors, they're glass and they're cheap. Here a pic of Crazy Mae's 'Monark 13'...

my first bike a 20" JC Higgins. Around 1958.

Yup me too, I bend 'em cold, with a 5 foot cheater bar and a hole in the ground, with shims in the seat tube, holds my 220 pounds.

Hey bikebum1975 if you use a beer can, cool, be sure to post it on the "show us your beer bike " thread. Rico great choice of beer can for a head light. Here is how I did it a few years back on the "Beerbike" Start with a can, cut the top out , and cut a hole in the bottom for the flash...

We had a good time, and the facility was great with the gym and all. Been a long time since I touched a basketball. the game of horse I played about did in my arm, Im still sore today. The Slamdunk contest was fun, thats Airick who I was trying to block, man, can he catch some air, for an almost...

One of the Coaster BC guys has built a couple of front and rear springer bikes using Monark springers and they are beautiful.

I run the tire manufactures suggested max psi. I want the tires to roll easy, so it s easier to pedal and I can go faster. The bumps can be absorbed by a longer wheel base, springer fork, and/or a good seat with springs.

GIVE ME THAT BIKE! Thats a common Coasters BC yell of approval. You do build some super cool bikes. And having seen pictures of some of the bike shows accross the pond, it makes me wonder if Texas is somewhere in Europe. The big tires are great, I like it.

Coaster brake. As has been mentioned, for the clean look of no cables, for good brake control, and for easy skids. And thats the way they make the 2 speed kickback hubs I like to use on my bikes.

I think we will be there. COLD, I want it to be like today, in the 60s, not the 20s like the weather reports say.

most of the bikes I build have items on them not made for bicycles. Aluminum honeycomb composite wood veneer (to cover the honeycomb), lug wrench ( stand) license plates (mud flaps and box), hood ornaments ( on box and front fender), glass door knobs (hand grips), Pontiac "Star Chief" script...

RIDING... yes, ridng on beautiful days and nights, especially with others on cool bikes is always a good time. I agree using non-bike materials on bikes allows the builder to get creative/inventive giving the bike a one of a kind attitude. I think most of us like owning things that nobody else...

Did a quick inventory of the bikes. The ones stashed in the shed and in the garage, in the attic of the garage and inside the trailer, and there is grannys shed and a couple of others. Well all somewhat totaled there were 66 bikes. 15 that were ridden in the last year. About 30 or so that you...

Here is our Xmas parade and Coasters Xmas rides. Rudy ridin on back, peddled, but really didnt help much, must be saving strength for the big night. crazy mae Wester Flyer with lights and bling Happy Holiday!

The Coasters BC members are the BEST! of coarse anybody who rides with the Coasters is a Coaster. they're all over the place.. Even as the day job has me working late into the night and I miss out on the weekly pub ride I try to make it to weekend events and special theme rides and parades...
